Heiskanen (personal) is expected to rejoin the Stars' lineup on Tuesday.

Heiskanen did not play Monday afternoon to be with his wife for the birth of their child but will return to the lineup on Tuesday against the New York Rangers. Despite quarterbacking a struggling Stars powerplay unit, Heiskanen has managed to stay productive, scoring 10 points (2G / 8A) in his last 12 games while averaging 23:34 time-on-ice.

Hesikanen (personal) is out on Monday vs. Boston due to the birth of his child.

Heiskanen did not travel with the Stars to Boston and remained in Dallas to be with his wife for the birth of his child. The Stars are also without Jani Hakanpaa (upper-body) and will see Alex Petrovic and Derrick Pouliot make their season debuts. Thomas Harley will likely see the greatest boost in playing time and offensive deployment on Monday with Heiskanen out of the lineup.

Heiskanen (lower body) will return Thursday vs. Anaheim.

Heiskanen will return to the lineup from a 10-game absence due to a lower-body injury, playing his first game since January 4th. After a slow start to the season with only seven points in his first 13 games (1G / 6A), Heiskanen was starting to come into his own, scoring 20 points (3G / 17A) in his last 24 games. Heiskanen should re-take his role on the top powerplay unit, occupied by Thomas Harley in his absence.

Heiskanen is expected to return to the Stars' lineup this week.

Heiskanen is expected to return in the coming days as Stars' general manager Jim Nill stated he expect Heiskanen to return for either Thursday or Saturday's game. Nill added that Heiskanen is at a point in his recovery where he would be able to play if it were the playoffs. After a slow start to the season with only seven points in his first 13 games (1G / 6A), Heiskanen was starting to come into his own, scoring 20 points (3G / 17A) in his last 24 games.

Heiskanen (lower-body) will travel on the Stars' upcoming four-game road trip.

Heiskanen will miss his sixth-straight game on Tuesday when the Stars host the Los Angeles Kings but could return in the coming days as he will travel with the team on their upcoming four-game road trip. After a slow start to the season with only seven points in his first 13 games (1G / 6A), Heiskanen was starting to come into his own, scoring 20 points (3G / 17A) in his last 24 games. Expect Thomas Harley to continue his increased deployment and usage on the top powerplay while Heiskanen is out of the lineup.

Miro Heiskanen (lower body) is considered week-to-week but will not require surgery.

Heiskanen awkwardly collided with his goaltender Scott Wedgewood while backchecking and exited the game in the third period after playing only 14:38 time-on-ice. After a slow start to the season with only seven points in his first 13 games (1G / 6A), Heiskanen was starting to come into his own, scoring 20 points (3G / 17A) in his last 24 games. Heiskanen's presence on the blue line will be sorely missed for the Stars, as he averages over 25 minutes per night. Expect Thomas Harley to see in an increase in deployment during Heiskanen's absence, including a role on the top powerplay unit.

Heiskanen has missed the Stars' last three games due to an upper-body injury and will be a game-time decision Tuesday vs. the Kings as well as he continues his recovery. Dallas' star defenseman has two goals and three points through his first six games while posting a +6 plus/minus.

The Stars have placed Miro Heiskanen (illness) on injured reserve.

Heiskanen has been diagnosed with mononucleosis and is out indefinitely. The Stars have placed him on IR retroactive to March 2nd, meaning he's eligible to return to the lineup whenever he is healthy, but mononucleosis is likely to sideline him for a lengthy period of time.
